Now is 2020 and we face a terrible corona virus outbreak and after weeks of work from home eventually we will need to setup VPN connection from our laptop to office server or our client server.
How we do this vpn thing on linux ? On Debian 10 an enabled vpn support we can see from settings -> network as follow.
If you see a blank form then you need to install some packages. Open up terminal and sudo to your favorite shell. Mine is bash. Type sudo bash.
To install package you need type as follow :
apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
apt-get install network-manager-vpnc-gnome
apt-get install network-manager-l2tp
apt-get install network-manager-l2tp-gnome
apt-get install network-manager-pptp
apt-get install network-manager-pptp-gnome
apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
If you are using L2TP with preshared key on windows 10 then need to set the key and advanced option of algorithms like below.
If everything is OK then you will have vpn enabled on your debian 10.
Good night!
